Pros

The kids are amazing! The teaching staff is very diverse. I found three people I work with who will be in my life forever.

Cons

Principal encourages fighting among teachers for higher grades. There is a severe lack of communication. Admin/Principal will lie to staff, parents and students.

Pros

-Love working with the students in HISD -Most coworkers are amazing and passionate about providing access to post-secondary options to all students

Cons

-Instruction from higher up in HISD is often inconsistent, and they deliver expectations and news VERY last minute -There's a lot of disorganization due to being understaffed as everyone is being stretched thin -Isn't room to grow pay-wise in this role; I have to change roles in order to get a salary increase.
